Cadre army battalion.

The camp was dimly lit, patrols and guard posts were sparse, and only the tent was brightly lit.

At this time, in the tent, Zhao Junsheng sat on the main seat, several officials and generals kneeling on the right side, and Pang Faqi and the Jiangxia officials brought by him stood in the middle of the big tent.

Pang Faqi did not only bring a few officials with him, but after leaving the Taishou Mansion, he moved more than 100 soldiers along the street to follow him out of the city.

Zhao Junsheng was very surprised that Pang Faqi suddenly came to surrender with a few officials and more than 100 soldiers, which was completely unexpected by him, yes, he did send people to persuade Pang Faqi to surrender, but it was just a routine procedure, he didn't expect it at all, he didn't expect Pang Faqi to really surrender, although he only brought more than 100 people to come, not to surrender the city, which also made him very puzzled and confused.

What made Pang Faqi choose to surrender? Zhao Junsheng doesn't think that his charm is so great that Pang Faqi runs over and kneels desperately, is it because of his mother and family? This is possible, although Pang Faqi is a loyal minister of the Southern Dynasty, he is also a filial son, and it is reasonable to surrender for the sake of filial piety.

However······ What happened in Jiangxia City before? Why did Pang Faqi only bring a few officials and more than a hundred soldiers to surrender? What about Liu Gon?

Pang Faqi looked at Zhao Junsheng, his face changed, he bowed and said: "It turns out that the so-called General Niu Dali is just a disguise, and the one who really led the troops turned out to be the Emperor Daqian, and the general Pang Faqi visited Your Majesty!" After saying that, he fell to his knees.

Several Jiangxia City officials behind him were shocked, and when they saw Pang Faqi kneeling, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is blessed!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was surprised, how did this Pang Faqi know him? He said, "I don't remember when or where I saw Pang Gong, how can Pang Gong recognize me?" ”

Pang Faqi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, when the celebration of the founding of the Great Qianguo was held in the past, when Pei Gongsongzhi, the doctor of the Imperial Taizhong, went to Qianjing as an envoy to watch the ceremony, and after he came back, he drew a portrait of His Majesty's face with his memory, and Pang was fortunate to observe the portrait once, so he wrote it down!" ”

"I see!" Zhao Junsheng suddenly realized and asked, "Pei Gong is okay, is he healthy?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Pei Gong died of illness the year before last!"

Zhao Junsheng was quite sorry, returned to the topic, and asked, "Pang Gong, everyone, get up first!" I have not yet given a formal answer to the terms of the negotiation with Zhu Zhubo in the afternoon, and Pang Gong has the intention of surrendering, why did he come suddenly? Could it be that something has changed? ”

Pang Fa got up and said, "It's something that happened!" After Zhu Zhubo and Liu Gon returned to Jiangxia City, Pang summoned the officials and generals in the city to discuss the matter of surrendering, Pang had nine points of certainty, but he did not calculate that the dog would strongly oppose it, and there was a military Sima Liu Gon support, some people wanted to follow Pang to surrender, but just stood up and was killed by the dog and Liu Gon, it was best to have a fight, Pang did not lose his conscience, did not dare to kill his father, Liu Gon also read in his colleagues for many years and did not kill Pang and others, let us go, If not, Pang Mou will definitely take all the soldiers and civilians in the city to welcome His Majesty's army into the city! ”

Zhao Junsheng listened while analyzing the truth and falsehood of these words, he would not be naïve enough to think that what Pang Faqi said was the truth.

However, since Pang Faqi has surrendered, no matter whether this person is sincere or false, at least until there is no evidence to prove that this person is a fake surrender, he can't touch these people, otherwise once the news spreads, people all over the world will think that he Zhao Junsheng has no tolerance for people, and no one will surrender on the Southern Dynasties side in the future, and the resistance of the Qianguo to attack the Southern Dynasties will increase exponentially, and the process of wanting to unify the world will definitely be postponed for many years.

Zhao Junsheng bowed his head and instructed the eunuch Kang Yide next to him: "Today, Pang Gong is here, I am happy, go and let people prepare some wine and food to send over, I want to talk with Pang Gong and all the princes at night!" ”

"No!"

"Come, give a seat to the princes!"

Pang Faqi and the others hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

When the wine and food were delivered, Zhao Junsheng, Pang Faqi and others pushed the cup to help the lamp, chatting while eating wine.

After a while, a large number of shouts and killings were heard from afar, people roared and horses neighed, and war drums rumbled.

The faces of everyone in the tent changed, especially Pang Faqi, he originally wanted to attack the cadres at night and agreed, but Xiao Bin's letters and messages disrupted his plan and had to make temporary adjustments, and the night attack must have been forced to be suspended, but now why is there a shout of killing coming from the south? Could it be that Liu Gon still launched a night attack as usual after that incident?

But listening to the sound, it seems that it is still relatively far away from the camp of the cadres, doesn't this mean that Jiangxia County was discovered on the way to the enemy camp? It's not good, it's not good!

Zhao Junsheng slapped the table and shouted: "Come on, go and investigate, and see what happened!" ”

"No!" Outside the tent, the colonel came in and said yes, turned around and ran out again.

After a short time, the colonel outside the tent returned to the Shuai tent to report: "Your Majesty, there is a Song army from the direction of Jiangxia City who tried to attack our camp at night, but was discovered by our army scouts in advance, General Niu made a countermeasure, this Song army is currently surrounded by our army, and General Niu is commanding the soldiers to close the net!" ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, his eyes were full of murderous eyes and looked at Pang Faqi.

Pang Faqi suddenly became excited, hurriedly got up and walked to the middle and bowed: "Your Majesty, I never know about this matter, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

Several other officials who surrendered also stood up and bowed down, and they all said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, we all followed Pang Taishou to kill, I didn't know that they would lead troops to follow!" ”

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's wait here, and when the battle is over, grab a few prisoners and come over and ask!" ”

Pang Faqi and the others trembled and retreated back to their original positions, one by one in their hearts, and at the same time they all had this question in their hearts, what is going on? Are those people in the city crazy?

Half an hour later, Niu Dali walked in and hugged his fists to report: "Your Majesty, the Jiangxia garrison of more than 800 people sneaked over and wanted to attack our army's camp at night, and was surrounded by the minister's troops and annihilated on the wasteland four miles east of the promise, killing more than 400 people and capturing more than 300 people!" ”

"In addition, the leading soldier Song General has been killed in battle, and the minister has already carried his body over, according to the captive's identification, this person's name is Pang Dangdang, and he is the eldest son of Pang Taishou!"

Zhao Junsheng glanced at Pang Faqi with a straight face, and raised his hand: "Bring in!" ”

Niu vigorously turned his head and shouted, "Carry people in!" ”

At this time, Pang Faqi's face turned pale, and several officials who surrendered with him were also terrified, and it was Pang Faqi's son who led the troops to sneak attack, who could believe that this was not premeditated? Who can believe that this is not Pang Faqi, father and son, singing on stage?

The body was brought in, an arm was missing, the broken arm was still wrapped in gauze, the man was dead, there were a few arrows stuck in his body, there were many wounds, and the armor was cut to shreds.

Pang Faqi walked to the corpse with tears in his eyes, stretched out his trembling hand to touch his son's face, and wiped the dirt and blood on his face!

Zhao Junsheng asked, "This person is your eldest son, right?" ”

Pang Faqi slowly turned around and replied, "Yes! ”

"You came to surrender with the front foot, and your son came to attack the camp with the back foot, how can you trust you if you call me? How do you prove that this is not a good agreement between your father and son, so that you can come to the Cheng attack camp and the attention of our army, and then your son will lead the troops to follow and kill our army by surprise? ”

Pang Fa's face was like ashes, "As early as in the city, our father and son have turned against each other, Pang doesn't know what happened in the field after we left, but Pang really can't prove his innocence!" ”

Several other officials who came with Pang Faqi were scared half to death, if Zhao Junsheng gave an order to kill Pang Faqi, they were afraid that it would be difficult to live, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying that they and the others really did not know and were innocent.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a long time, and decided to rather kill the wrong one than let it go, after all, the behavior of Pang Faqi's father and son was too suspicious, even if they were killed, the news would spread, and the people in the world would not be able to say anything, and people would think that this was a trick made by Pang Faqi's father and son, but it was just discovered.

Zhao Junsheng was about to give an order, but a small colonel came in outside the tent and whispered a few words in Niu Dali's ear, Niu Dali turned to Zhao Junsheng and hugged his fist and said: "Your Majesty, among the captives there is a Song general named Wei Wentong, whose official position is the sixth building master of Jiangxia County, and three hundred of the eight hundred Song troops who attacked are his subordinates. So that the city can set an example for other officials and generals, and if it succeeds, it can also strengthen the confidence of others, if not······ The results speak for themselves! ”

"Murder with a knife to purge dissidents?" Zhao Junsheng frowned.

"I don't rule it out! After interrogating a number of prisoners, they all said that the order to send troops to attack our army's camp at night was made by Liu Gon temporarily, and judging from the current situation, there is no evidence to prove that this matter was discussed in advance by Pang Faqi's father and son! ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it when he heard this, got up and walked to Pang Faqi to help him up, and patted him on the shoulder: "It seems that I am suspicious, and I hope Pang Gong will not be surprised!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ponfa bowed and bowed his hand.

Zhao Junsheng patted him on the shoulder: "Even if there is a lot of discord between father and son, but after all, it is father and son, blood dissolves in water, Pang Gong saw the death of his eldest son, he was very sad, this is human nature, I understand it very well!" In this way, the hour is not early, Pang Gong and you will go to rest first, and we will talk about it tomorrow! ”

"General Niu, send someone to prepare a camp tent for Pang Gong and several others, carry General Pang Shao's body over, find a camp tent next to Pang Gong's camp tent to park, and then find a good coffin! In addition, to spread my will, bring Mrs. Pang and other family members of Pang Gong over, so that their family can be reunited, and there must be no shortage of food every day, and it will be fully supplied! ”

"Obey the order!" Niu vigorously clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and ordered a few soldiers to let them carry Pang Dangdang's body out, and said to Pang Faqi and others: "Pang Gong, everyone, please come with me!" ”
